The Arizona Senate has unexpectedly failed to pass the bill that would allow people with concealed weapon permits to take hanguns into restaurants that serve alcohol.
The Senate vote was a 14-14 tie. The Arizona Republic reports that one presumed backer was absent and the main sponsor then changed his vote to “no” in order to request consideration on another day.
Current state law prohibits possession of firearms in bars and restaurants seling alcohol.
Under the bill, a permit holder carrying a weapon into a restaurant serving alcohol would not be allowed to drink. And it would allow restaurants to still deny entry by citizens with guns by posting a sign.
